Removed My account from Xbox one, How games are still working?

Radaevia · Nov 17, 2016

Hello,

I bought my first xbox one on launch day, i sold it after a few months, removed my Account from the console and all the digital games that i didn't remove from the HDD were still working on the new account of the buyer.

I was sure its a mistake but i didnt care much about it.

Since then i bought another xbox and downloaded all the digital games again successfully. Once again i want to sell my xbox one and get a new xbox one s. I removed my account and the games are still working.

How is that possible? is that normal? Is this suppose to work only a few times or what?

If it's normal then every player would download any game to hundreds of consoles. Can some one explain how is it even possible?

Thanks.

:)

Since power cycling didn't work, you can try deleting your account from your Xbox One and redownload it.

Add/Remove Account Xbox One

If that does not work then it may still be a issue lingering from yesterday.

The Home setting would be the only thing that would allow the games to still work. It sounds like it the setting may not have been turned off afterall. Once you set your new console as your Home console they should stop working on the old console.

UPDATE: Every game worked yesterday. I just tried it again right now and it doesn't work anymore. Thanks for the help.

It was weird though...

Hi there,

did you set the console(s) you sell to be NOT your Home console.

If a console is set as your Home console, it will have access to your games combined to the account that has the console set as Home console.

Please see this link on how to Remove the console from being the Home console: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox

Of course i set the console i sold to NOT my home console. Can you explain how the games are still working?

That is a really weird situation.
